STATE OF ALASKA                                                                  BILL NO. CSSB 80
2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
   This bill seeks to amend existing health education law, AS 14.30.360 Health education curriculum; physical activity
   guidelines, by specifically adding mental health education to the statute. This bill advocates for students to receive on-
   going education on mental health by 1) explicitly adding mental health to the list of health topics districts are encouraged
   to include in their K-12 health education programs, 2) requiring the State Board of Education and Early Development to
   provide districts with developmentally appropriate health education standards for instruction in mental health that are
   developed in consultation with the Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS), regional tribal health organizations,
   and representatives of national and state health organizations, and 3) requiring parent or guardian consent before
   instruction in mental health as part of a program in health education may occur by the district.
   This fiscal note contains three one-time, multi-year expenses: 1) $30.0 for $1.5 stipends for 20 parents and qualified
   stakeholders for their year long participation in the research and authoring of the standards, 2) $35.0 contract for a
   national Mental Health Education expert to facilitate the standards process and professional development materials, and
   3) $6.0 for legal fees to implement the necessary regulation changes.
   The department plans to hold the necessary stakeholder engagement meetings with participating educators virtually and
   to publish and disseminate the new Health Education/Mental Health standards electronically.
   Transition language provides the State Board of Education and Early Development two years to develop mental health
   guidelines. A multi-year appropriation of $71.0 covering FY2023 and FY2024 would allow the department to expend
   funding over the two years.
